My main server is a puny Raspberry Pi 5 with no disks that still packs a lot of services for my home.

My other server is an ancient 4 core box with an equally old graphics card and a bunch of disks (some spinning, some solid state) arranged in a ZFS array. It handles backups and running a local nasty tempered LLM modelled after GlaDOS.

64 days of continuous uptime today!! I know this isn't much compared to serious hosting, but I started self-hosting not so long ago and it's my record so far.

Apart from that, hosting my own messenger (Matrix) instance and actually having my friends switch to it from proprietary platforms. The sense of truely owning my data is deeply satisfying.

I’m proud it’s run in three countries and been accessed from four, depending on your definition of country

My old laptop (also EOL) still running as my server I guess ? I'm still looking for some time to switch to my old desktop with 5TB.

Not much but it's kinda needed for my curreent Arr stack and my self-hosted services i want to share with family members (SFTPgo, vaultwarden, invidious, baikal, navidrome, jellyfin, seerr...)

Still need some time to make our network more reliable :) I still have 2 managed swiches to put into our network !

Mann so many things to do, but not enough time in a everyday life :( !

I have 3 machines running proxmox, and if one of them dies, the other 2 can pick up the slack and spin up the LXCs with the docker services to prevent important services from going down.

Automatically, within a couple of minutes, with little to no data loss.

It was a pain, it maybe is not super reliable, and it’s all running on older hardware. But it is running, with good uptime.

Currently? 4-5 months "playing" with local models and in the last week or two it has REALLY started to come together, and I have NEVER in like 25+ years of having a home lab/server(s) under the desk, but as happy or impressed. Fully offline and private, scratch-coded agent with a boatload of models behind it, spread across five GPUs in four VMs, and now with fully private/local (also scratch coded) voice interface. Absolute most incredible thing I have put together in my life, and that's not a short list of 'cool shit' I've built over the years.

Historically? Having such high-end networking gear to 'play' with in the early 2000s that I actually sold and shipped some to a small ISP overseas to use for production 🤣
